Course syllabus
The teaching is workshop oriented and has in general the format of dialogue and seminars. The core of the course are MA Forum and guests talking about their practice and work. The course is examined through short assignments.
The course structure is based on lectures on campus and Zoom meetings where guests appear. This structure is to allow participation from outside Gothenburg and a combination with a work life but also as we share guests with another course. All guest’s will be on Zoom. MA Forum has one structure that will be clarified at the first MA Forum. Time is well allocated for developing individual work. The development of each individual report and ideas is through short written reflections.
It is for the benefit of all important that everyone is well prepared when attending the course teaching moments. Morning sessions 10:00 -12:00 is usually for guests and afternoon session 14:30 - 16:30 is for MA Forum Individual tutorials can be booked throughout the course. We use Zoom due to a much easier way of getting guests to join us.
